It will tell NBU to ignore 'extended attributes' on VxFS filesystems and just back up the data in the filesystem.
See http://www.symantec.com/docs/HOWTO33324
Add the IGNORE_XATTR entry to the /usr/openv/netbackup/bp.conf file.
NetBackup does not check for extended attributes or named data streams if the IGNORE_XATTR entry is present in the bp.conf file.
This entry should appear only once in the bp.conf file.

NBU is reporting WRN = Warning, not errors.
Add the following to bp.conf on client to ignore extended attributes:
IGNORE_XATTR = YES
About the symbolic link - NBU is merely informing you that it does not follow symbolic links.

That's probably a symlink that you don't need in backup, add it to exclude list if it bothers you

ok thanks marianne would you please confirm the directory of bp.conf
